how do i stop the tailgate rattling in my mk3? i taken off the plastic inside the tailgate, and smooth boot so its not number plate, its at the top of tailgate inside. any ideas???

Its the boot hinges mate, nothing can be done as far as i know

I take it you have a sub in the boot?

It's a Ford, everything rattles. Glovebox, dash, seats squeak, bootlid, windows aaarrrrgghhhhhhhh

Thought as much, mines sounds just as bad with one mate

As Wayne said, its a ford

After sitting in the back of waynes cars, i don't mind my rattles that much anymore

invest in some sound deadening for the boot area...the product i use with GREAT success is Second Skin Damplifier (there is also a pro version available for slightly more money)...cover 1-2layers all over the boot floor, arches and tailgate and it will help eliminate the rattles you have...

here is a clip of my focus when we had 2 15's in the boot...the only rattle you hear are metal shutters beside the car

Haha thats mental

[M1K3Y_B]

Bassboy that crazy

But i was under the impression that it would still happen, as the boot rattles on a standard car anyway?

[Scott69]

my car bits dont rattle they creek lol

[bassboy]

scot69 - that was 5kwrms on bass amps, but that was nothing

M1K3Y_B - Rattling is basically panels resonanting...and plain thin metal panel will resonate at a higher frequency than one which is thicker...By adding sound deadening, your simply adding mass to the panel to lower is resonant frequency...the panel will still move...but the sound it makes will be undetected if deadened right because it is just resonanting at a far too low frequency

Sound deadening simply adds mass...it strengthens slightly, but thats not its primary objective...a FULLY sound deadened car like my focus will still flex...just without that horrid vibrating noise

[M1K3Y_B]
